How quickly does a laptop battery normally die?
battery May 18th, 2009I have an Asus F3 laptop and it appears the battery is dead after just over 2 years. I need to plug my machine in - in order for it to work. I am going to buy a new battery - however before I do that could it be something else that's wrong or does it sound glaringly obvious that it's the battery?
well, in my opinion, when u first got your new laptop and battery, the work time is different from the performace your battery play now. full charge the laptop battery and compare with the work time, if it is over half of the new one, you should change it. for most battery can be normal used in 400-500 charge and discharge circles.

Many people have different views on this. Mine is that if you leave it plugged in most of the time the battery will fail more quickly. On my ASUS EEE I exercise the battery by taking it down to around 5% before charging it back up again. It also depends on what type the battery is. I do know that people with computers that have the same battery's the amount of new batteries they need have varied greatly. Two years might be slightly on the low end but not unreasonably so.

Just count the the laptop battery charging cycles, Li-ion battery has limited battery charging and discharging cycles for 300-500 times. so the battery is dying after 2 years' normal using.

Your battery is definitely the one malfunctioning. The life span of a battery would normally range from 2-3 years. But do charge only when it is below 20% of its capacity this way you won't decrease its capacity which would would require recalibration.
